Question We have been given a pair of Betty Lytle roller skates by Hyde. They are still in a case. They also have Kwitite Wheels. Included in the case are 2 books. 1 looks like it is a handbook from 1953 amateur rollerskaters handbook U.S.A.R.S.A. The other looks like its the official RSROA dancing rule book from 1956. They have Model-B Precision Dance Roll-Awaye Skate Co. trucks. We are trying to find out how much they are worth but can't find anything out about them.
Answer Wow, that takes me back. Well, I think that you might want to ask the USARS (Rollersports)Museum about that, they may have some info. http://www.usarollersports.org
This will give you the website for the Rollersports and they can direct you to the Museum. There may be a place on the site.........otherwise, email one of the people on the list.
